When wages remain stagnant, imposing a minimum wage is one vehicle for driving them higher, explains Jennifer Blanke, Chief Economist at the World Economic Forum. This of course leads to higher wages for those with jobs, but the potential downside is that employers cut jobs, leading to higher unemployment.
Some cataracts grow larger or denser over time, causing severe vision changes. Severe cataracts can cause loss of independence for older adults as decreased vision may affect driving, working, reading, or hobbies. While cataracts can cause blindness, this is rare. Surgery is usually done before a cataract progresses far enough to cause blindness. A rare type of cataract can lead to glaucoma.
Looking at a solar eclipse without protective eyewear can also cause eye damage. Problems with the retina can lead to impaired vision or blindness. Cataracts can be caused from direct, intense ultraviolet rays hitting the eyes over many years. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness. Cataracts develop gradually over a long time. Sunglasses that block 99% or 100% of ultraviolet rays can protect you from eye problems related to sun exposure. Sunglass labels that say UV absorption up to 400 nanometers (nm) provide 100% UV protection.
